Although I don't want to trivialize the many other aspects of 'drones', they are essentially flying platforms to which we intend to mount aerial cameras. Therefore, I'd like to start talking a bit…Continue

Profile Information

Quite a bit of information about myself, my company, and my opinions can be found on the webpage.

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I am a private investigator and the president of a private security services company, Bulldog Investigations and Security LLC. Virginia License #11-6038

My professional background is a bit unusual for the private security and investigation industry, but
the skills aquired during employment as the former technology director of a Pennsylvania school
district have proven priceless in this field.

Instinct and old fashioned detective work remain at the
heart of Private investigation, but Internet databases and dramatic changes in photographic technologies have majorily impacted the industry.

The winds of change are blowing yet once again, both for myself as well as my profession. 'Drones'as the media tends to call them, are not just a passing fad. The world that we live in, will for better or for worse, undergo a transformation not seen since the introduction of the personal computer.

Unmanned vehicle systems will impact private industry, law enforcement, and our lives in ways we are only beginning to understand. I intend to capitalize on those opportunities. I initially joined AUVSI in 2010 with the intention of networking with robotic engineers, and other
interested parties.

On March 12, 2012, after lengthy consideration and research, a major decision was made: Bulldog Investigations is now undergoing a restructuring centered around these new approaches to age old problems. An interesting road lies ahead for those of us brave enough to
venture out into this new territory.
